On Jay-Z screening her potential suitors: “I just found out from a mutual friend that guys will talk to Jay first before they try to approach me.”

On how much of father figure Jay-Z is: “He’s very protective. Jay has my best interests in mind. If it’s a good guy I know Jay won’t shut him down. But if he’s not, Jay will be like, ‘No, no, no.’ ”

On the guys who have tried to date her:”He actually never tells me. I have no clue who they are and I guess I’ll never know.”

On the guys she prefers: “Tall guys who have a sense of humor, love to laugh, have a good time and good conversation,”

On the perfect date: “Low key, just hanging out and watching a movie.”

Yes I know all this info about Black skin tones, thnx very much Lo-lo. No need to remind me this.

I never digged in Rihanna’s personal life but hey, thnx also for letting me know she’s of mixed race. She used to have a nice light skin tone before and now she’s turning slowly white. It looks as if she wasn’t totaly happy with the beautiful mixture that her parents concocted. Shame!
There are loads of mixed race singers and actors out there, Halle Berry, Thandie, Colin Rae etc, included, and never I’ve seen such skin tone transformation.

Shame on her for bleaching her skin. Being mixed race is already such a priviledge for her but now she wants to imitate MJ.

I’m coming out

bunchof idiots @ 06/12/2007 at 8:19 am

talk about idiots, she didnt bleach her skin? skin tones get lighter, especially when you leave a nice warm island to america. the same **** happened to me, her daddy is half white her mom is guyanese black.

come to africa you’ll see blacks lighter than rihanna. they’re not even mixed, black has alot of skin tones

She’s selling!!!!!!!!!!! OK

Rihanna maybe at the top right now, but when it comes to talents, look, music, entertainer, dance etc all that goes to Miss Beyonce. Beyonce can easily kick Rihanna’s ass to pieces. Rihanna have zero talents compared to Beyonce. Sorry, but it’s the truth. Y’all must be blind if y’all don’t think I am right.

rancor you are clueless she is not bleaching her skin. for your info NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE WHITE. so dry up and quit hating

rancor not everyone wants to be white you are clueless

rancor not everyone wants to be white you are clueless

Well if it is true and he is looking out for her that’s great! there is nothing but vulchers in the music business waiting in the wings to suck the life out that young girl. so good for him for doing a good thing if it’s true. we have enough negativity in this world!
give the girl a break!

FIRST OF ALL, RIHANNA DOES NOT HAVE A DROP OF WHITE IN HER…. AND WHO CARES IF SHE’S BLEACHING HER SKIN…. THATS HER! SHE LOOKS GOOD NOW!! CIARAZ DOIN THE SAME THING! BUT SHE LOOKS GOOD. RIHANNA’S FATHER IS NOT WHITE, NOR IRISH. HE IS BARBADIAN BLACK. HER MOTHER IS GUYANESE, AND I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I AM MIXED WITH GUYANESE TOO AND WE JUST ARE LIGHT SKINNED. GOsh!! LoZerz.GET HER ALBUM! ITz Okay.

Those are RIhanna’s parents, now please, let this mess go. The girl is doing good right now, lets hope she can sell more records than she usually does.

CORRECTION! I Meant RIhanna is Mixed! And thats her mother in the picture!

Please Rancor, Rihanna is not bleaching. She is just light . Not because you may not be satisfied with your color does not mean she isn’t satisfied with hers. Get over it and admire the natural beauty and light complected skin of the beautiful Rihanna. I wonder what you look like to be so adamant about proving that Rihanna is bleaching. What business of it is yours?

What is ya’ll problem? Where do you get this information that she is bleaching her skin? Did you see her do it? Did a trusted friend tell you? I don’t think so. And about stealing b’s man, he’s kind of old for her anyway, why would she go there? And as mixed people grow up, their color will change a little bit. When I was younger, I had brown skin, now I’m lighter. I should know.

The reason why Rihanna isn’t as good as Beyonce b/c Rihanna is still kind of new. Everyone foreva knew B b/c she was in the industry for a long time. And Beyonce has her own fashion line and perfume, so she more famous for that. When Rihanna is older and more known and maybe sell her own products, she will probably be as famous as Beyonce is now. And who told MIckey Junior that that was her mom in the picture?

stopbeing stupid seefor urself @ 03/08/2008 at 3:36 pm

her dad isn’t white…u can look him up he is a little light sort of brown skin tho…i must agree …i don’t care for all the gossip but i’ve seen her and now her sudden skin transformation …so i guess i got the same question as others …is she bleaching? certainly looks that way…btw the are alot os mix by racial celebs they haven’t had this sort of skin transformation….execpt micheal jackson and he’s not even mix in any sort of way like tht…so how do u explain him? from black to white….why do pep do this to themselves?…it’s as if u gonna stay on top u’ll have to be lighter

but any way her mom is black really dark skin and her dad is brown skin..but def not white

one, rihanna’s father isnt white. he is of african and irish descendants
second, black people who are light, are automatically mixed, that is why they are light skin. 100% “black” people are naturally dark skin.

i read in a magazine i think allure she said her dad was half black half white and her mom was black…..she isnt mixed but black….her dad’s a light skinned black man…..

she had a rough childhood b/c of her skin couleur…..and when talking abt this story she mention it was b/c of her dad being black/white….
